Raghunath Dhondo Karve was among the stormy and controversial figures of his time in Maharashtra. Born to Dhondo Keshav Karve, a social reformer who advocated for women’s rights and widow remarriage, RD Karve studied the subjects of birth control and the science of lovemaking. In 1927, Raghunath started the Samaaj Sawaasthya (Health of the Society) magazine in Marathi. The thoughts he propagated through this magazine were too radical for the society of his time and the orthodoxy who often raised obstacles and filed several cases against him. Originally written in Marathi by Dr Anant Deshmukh, and translated by Nadeem Khan, RD Karve: The Champion of Individual Liberty is a meticulously researched biography of a reformer and a social criticism of the times.
